Yingcui felt a little scared then, emboldened herself and continued filming.
The matters assigned by the princess must be handled well no matter how difficult they are.
Sure enough, she put her ear against the door panel and heard slight movement from the small courtyard. Ying Cui lowered her voice and whispered twice. The person inside seemed to have also pressed against the door panel and whispered, "
Who are you?"
Because the sound was too close, Ying Cui was startled, and she said in a panic: "Qingshan is still here."
When the man heard this, he immediately said: "How many times the sunset is red."
Then, the door opened with a creak, and when Yingcui saw it, he saw a man with a ragged beard, his clothes were messy, he looked like he hadn't showered for days and nights, and he smelled of alcohol.
He couldn't help but frowned.
When the man saw Ying Cui's dress and elegant demeanor, he felt that it was expected. He quickly pulled Ying Cui in, stuck out his head and looked carefully, then closed the door and welcomed Ying Cui.
Arrived inside the main house.
Under the candlelight, Ying Cui could see clearly this person's appearance. He was quite handsome, but there was a hint of roughness between his eyebrows. These eyes, which are now lonely, must have been very bright before.
!
"Did the girl come from Prince Yelu's Mansion?" the man asked tentatively.
Yingcui nodded quickly and said, "You are the guard Zhang Gong, right? The princess sent me here to see you."
When Zhang Gong heard this, he immediately asked anxiously, "Do you know where Xiaopei is now? Is she suffering?"
Ying Cui sighed and looked at Zhang Gong with sympathy. From the look in his eyes, Zhang Gong seemed to have guessed the outcome of Xiao Pei. The hope he had just raised was destroyed again. He said to himself: "Something happened to Xiao Pei."
After that, I hid here and drank in a daze all day long. The two of us couldn't help ourselves, but I already had a wife at home, Xiao Pei didn't mind, and the princess was also eager to help us make peace, so we became unscrupulous.
I didn’t expect that it would actually harm Xiao Pei.”
Ying Cui felt a little uncomfortable. After all, it was not good for a strange man to say these things to a girl who had not left the court in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the dim light now, the embarrassment on Ying Cui's face could not be clearly seen.
"After the accident, I left the capital because I wanted to protect my wife and children, and I have stayed here since then. I didn't dare to go out, and I was afraid of hindering Xiao Pei. I thought that with the princess here, Xiao Pei would be fine.
Who knows..."
He coughed twice, and Yingcui's eyes blinked twice as well. She came here on another mission this time. Now when she hears a man like this say these sad things to her, it's hard to feel the same way.
After a while, when she saw that Zhang Gong was silent, she paused and said: "The princess sent me here today to tell you that she was very guilty about Xiao Pei's matter, and she was also in trouble with the princess because of it.
Unhappy, she blames herself very much. She couldn't keep Xiaopei, so she will try her best to keep you."
